Muscle Anatomy Three types of muscles 6 basic muscles Ligaments vs. Tendons
Types of Muscles Ligaments vs. Tendons Skeletal/Voluntary- Skeletal muscle fibers occur in muscles which are attached to the skeleton. Those muscles that can be moved by our thoughts and actions. Smooth/Involuntary Muscle- Muscles that moves internal organs, such as the bowels, and vessels. Reflex action is made without our thought. Cardiac- The muscle of the heart Ex: This muscle is constantly working automatically without thought or reflex being needed. Without this cardiac functioning muscle, we die! Ligaments connect bones while tendons connect muscles to bones.
Muscle Anatomy Deltoids- a large, triangular muscle covering the joint of the shoulder, the action of which raises the arm away from the side of the body. Basic Exercise: Shoulder press
Muscle Anatomy Latissimus Dorsi- a broad, flat muscle on each side of the mid-back, the action of which draws the arm backward and downward and rotates the front of the arm toward the body. Basic exercise: lat pull down
Muscle Anatomy Hamstrings- any of the muscles/tendons that bound the bend of the knee. Basic exercise: leg curls
Muscle Anatomy The masseter muscle is a facial muscle that plays a major role in the chewing of food. The muscle is shaped similar to a parallelogram, connecting to the mandible and the cheekbone. Basic Exercise: jaw rotation, resistance type chewing motion Dec. 2014: Copyright © Healthline Networks, Inc.
Muscle Anatomy Anterior Cruciate Ligament- The ACL, is a primary stabilizing ligament within the center of the knee joint that prevents hyperextension and excessive rotation of the joint.
Muscle Anatomy Pronator Teres- a muscle that is primarily in the forearm and inserts into the radius. Pronates the hand and forearm (turns it hand palm up) Basic exercise- dumbbell pronation, (any movement involving wrist rotation)
